People breath air, not oxygen. Breathing pure oxygen have be hazardous to health.

Air is a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and a small amount of many other gasses. Some of the oxygen in the air that people breath in is separated from the rest of the air in the lungs and circulated through the body in the blood.
